“Dan and Rossi took such wonderful care of my precious Morty! Every little detail was handled with so much thoughtfulness, from warming his food to the perfect temperature to giving him treats, lots of pets, and even a nice brushing. Morty received so much love and gentle attention throughout the day, and their thoughtful updates gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that he felt comfortable, happy, and completely pampered. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Dan and Rossi and wouldn’t hesitate to leave Morty in their care again!”
About: Since I was 10 years old, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their dog(s). I've stayed overnight at their houses to provide the requested care as well as visits during the day. Additionally I’ve hosted pet(s) overnight. Currently I am working part-time and step out for about 4 hours for my shift then return home to study. My fiancé and I live together in our apartment and he helps provide pet care. Our weekends are typically open with an occasional event. I am an active person. I enjoy running, hiking, and long walks to release energy, especially with a canine campion. I've also brought dogs to local dog parks. I enjoy playing with dogs and even lounging at the house with them. At my apartment, the shared backyard has a fence and an outdoor lead as well.
“Super compassionate and felt entirely safe leaving our little pup with Allie! She was very responsive, accommodating and flexible. She spoiled him with treats and he came back exhausted after having the best time. Thank you!”
“Ling and Ye were great with my puppy! I had to work a very, very long day and they were very accommodating with an early drop off and late pick up. They also made me feel comfortable by sending pictures throughout the day to reassure me that she was having a great day. I will definitely hire them again!”
“Shuhua took very good care of my dog pepper while I was moving apartments. My chi was instantly in love with Shuhua and you can tell that she cares about your pets too. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Sean took care of our 2 year Yorkie, Luca, for the day We wanted to get them acquainted before an upcoming weekend stay. Luca settled right in with Sean. He provided Luca good care, is responsible and accommodated our requests. Overall very satisfied and feel much better about Luca’s upcoming weekend/overnight stay.”
“Did a fantastic job of looking after my menace of pumpkin. Pumpkin developed an injury in her paw (totally happens and she likely just cut or stepped in something) and Adrianna kept me in the loop and did a great job at making pumpkin feel loved and better throughout the day ❤️”
“Tianyue was wonderful with my dog! Very caring, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I felt comfortable leaving my pup in their care and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Willow loved her time with Suzanne. Suzanne did a meet-and-greet in advance with us to learn about Willow. Then they spent their walking and playing and Willow was happy to come back and see Suzanne again!”
About: Hi, my name is Richard. I grew up taking care of my family’s pets, I love all types of animals but cats and dogs hold a special place in my heart and being around animals has always been second nature to me. I took a break from Rover this past year while I moved and focused on work, but I’m fully back now with an open to give your pets my full attention. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I believe each animal deserves their own personal care and routine, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. With me, your pet will always feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible career working from home. This means I’m always around to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left waiting for care. I build my schedule around making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I will care for your pet like it is my own. Whether it is in my home or yours I will ensure that they are comfortable, well loved, fed and played with.
“Denise is a great dog sitter. She was flexible with my return as I wasn’t sure what time I’d come back from up North. Sent me a picture to let me know he was content. Very kind and caring!”
“Kevin hosted Katsu for daycare and made the whole process so easy and seamless! We are boarding Katsu with Kevin next week and feel relieved that our pup will be in great hands. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dedham
He was punctual, kept me informed, sent a cute picture and Selena was fine when I picked her up. This was her first experience away from me other than a day 2 years ago. She was nervous on arrival but happy when I picked her up. Not Eric’s fault but the Rover app would not let me join - no doubt a box I didn’t see. So this may not appear. Sorry, Eric.
Minglu and Yilan were great with Atlas. He is a dog that loves people and getting attention while also being able to hang with the other dogs. It looked like he had an awesome time and was definitely tired, hard to do for a bernedoodle, when he got home. I would definitely recommend.

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Dedham is $64 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $81 per day.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dedham commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 3,118 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
